“Dumbo” and “Shazam!” are set to keep their top two positions in the Box Office top 10, with “Dumbo” remaining ahead of the DC Blockbuster, according to cinema data experts Applaudience. With the warm Easter weather looming, sales are unsurprisingly down this week, but Red Joan, starring British acting legend Judie Dench as a woman accused of being a soviet spy, is set to be a strong new entry and is forecast to gross approximately £830,000.

Alongside “Dumbo” and “Shazam!”, other family films including “Wonder Park” and “Missing Link” remain in the top ten. “Wild Rose” is expected to keep its place in the top 10 and set to earn an additional £400,000 in Box Office sales with new stalker drama “Greta” forecast to reach £450,000.
